[Q] ad-hoc wifi network - G Tablet General

I am thinking of picking up one of these, but I would need to be able to connect to an ad-hoc wifi network. does anyone know if this is possible? Also if anyone can tell me how much faster it appears to run after the stock overlay is removed I would appreciate it. Thanks all

As far as Ad Hoc, yes it can be done. Worked for me when I still had mine. Connected to the wifi from my Droid 1. You have to hack the wifi file a bit but its not hard.

can you tell me what you did to the wifi file? are you using wireless tether on the droid? thanks

this worked for me

Can you just rename the zip as update and run through the stock recovery?

The newer TnT Lite and VEGAn mods have this binary, already.
As for how much faster, not a lot versus adding a Tegra performance pack. If you want speed, you want the performance pack or run one of the mods above (especially VEGAn).

I want to keep it stock until after the next update. I just want to see how it works stock. Testing to see if this will be a good device for my father he isn't going to be flashing ROMS so I want to see what I can do with a stock ROM.
How do I get the Ad Hoc working with Stock ROM?

The Adhoc fix is in the wpa_supplicant file. You'll need to replace the stock version of that file from the version in the latest vegan or TnTlite build.
I'm not sure if you can simply connect to computer via USB, find the file, and replace it (I doubt it).
Perhaps you can create a recovery update that only replaces that one file. I don't know if it works, but you could try starting with a Vegan or Tnt build, keep the recovery folder, and delete everything in the update.zip except for the wpa_supplicant file.

Incubus' Super Eclair 2.1 R5 for Polaris (Wifi + BT)

Hi everyone! I'm here again to give you good news.
I would like to thank Incubus for his generosity and for his support. We would be nowhere if people like him didn't share their knowledge.
I got into some files and updates and I finally stumbled upon a working set of files that will allow you to start Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in our devices. I made it so we can install it without the need of updates. This build I modified is ready to work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
* For your convenience, I've uploaded the new updated build for you to try it out:
Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1 Release 5:* http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzygmkjyzm
You've got to use with the latest NBH > http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D. Please, make sure you have a NBH file released on 07-05-2010.
Don't forget that I only merged all the stuff and it worked like magic.
I really hope it will work for you too.
I'm now installing things via Wi-Fi and sending files to my Polaris using bluetooth!
Please, tell me if it works.
just installed: my old problems are solved, but i find other 2
_WiFi doesn't search networks
_camera doesn't work (error message processocom.android.camera)
performance
How about the speed of this éclair build working on our Polaris?
Comparing Myn's Warm Donut.
It's a bit slower than Myn's.

It's strange. Wifi works for me. The camera won't work because it has not been ported to Eclair yet.
By the way, is there anybody that has tried out my modification with success? Please, send feedback.
Bluetooth File Transfer
How program you use for send/receive files via BT?
To receive you just have to turn BT on and pair the two devices. It will notify you when an incoming file is waiting (you've got to accept it).
To send I use an app that is named Bluetooth OPP Put Lite. Install it, go to ASTRO File Explorer and choose Send from the context menu. You will see a new option to send the file. I used it and it really works!
Thanks for advice!
Well, wifi scanning is not working Wifi turns on but it does not scan. BT works fine.
Thanx
maybe we could try with WiFi scanner, but without connection we can't go to the market (free)...
I used the .nhb of dzo's latest version (2010-05-07), then bt and wifi are working well.
But I found that Incubus' Super Eclair was much slower than Myn's

Could the radio rom be the issue? Which one do you use and which ones others? Lets compare?
Did you combine Kaiser wifi update for eclair and wlan.ko from dzo? That combination worked for me few days ago, and what was interesting that without dzo's wlan.ko wifi coud be enabled, but no scan.

[Q] tun.ko for Xoom 3.2?

Hi!
I would like to establish a Cisco IPSEC-connection with my Xoom, using get-a-robot-vpnc. The problem is that I'm missing a tun-kernel-module and can't find one for the xoom on the web
Does anyone have one for the Xoom WiFi only running 3.2 (Build HTJ85B) with stock kernel?
Thanks!

Pulled this out of the EU32Update file, not sure if its what youre looking for??

yup, I'd like to see this too..
Just instal tiamat kernel 2.1 it contains tun.ko and several other modules.

also you need to use this modified vpn connections
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12124163&postcount=23
Here is tun.ko for 3.2 stock.
wonderful! many, many thanks.
hi,
Will this work on 3.2.1? I copied it /system/lib/modules but when I try to openvpn I get cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically.
Is this just a bad file for 3.2.1 or am I missing something else?
I did install busybox and openvpn.
Thanks,
Your tun.ko kernel module needs to be compiled specifically against your kernel source. I don't work with stock anymore, however the developer kernel now floating on xda have this module specifically rolled into their kernels. You would have to root however to install these kernels.
Thanks Kevdog..
I searched and i couldn't find any for 3.2.1. I am the rooted stock 3.2.1 already downloaded from xda. Just need to tun.ko for 3.2.1.
If u know where to find, please send me the link.
Thanks.
Ok 3.2.1 -- Stock or Rooted? What kernel are you running?
I got my rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214
Thanks,
Ok -- I know this is a lot of work, however I tried it myself and I'm not sure if the rom you linked to is corrupted or my download process failed. (***Rant -- why all the developers who put out files don't match the file to an md5 sum so us users can verify the integrity of the dowload -- I'll never know!!), but I can't seem to extract your system.img. You'll need a tool such as unyaffs to unpack the system.img and then search around in the modules folder until you find the tun.ko. Or you could just flash a Tiamat 3.2.1 kernel which has these modules built in!!
I checked checksum and it was correct before I installed it. Not sure what u mean, I thought this rom doesn't have it period.
I also tried to use tiamat 2.2 which says its for 3.2 but it got stuck at boot for 30 minutes at the honeycomb screen. I thought maybe tiamat ker
Net doesn't support 3.2.1 yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200063
As far as i know this is latest. Doesn't mention 3.2.1. Didn't work for me.
I don't want to go to tiamat rom to avoid a full rebuild.

[MOD] Wifi Calling For Any ROM

Wifi Calling working on ROMs that don't have it included.
It looks the files needed as compared to other WifiCalling packages for other phones are:
/system/lib
libganril.so
libhtc_ril.so
libhtc_ril_switch.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
/system/app
com.android.kineto.apk
Then in the build.prop append this line of text to the very end
Code:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
THE ZIP IS NOT FLASHABLE
Its only for testing purpose to make sure we get Wifi Calling working properly so we can make a flashable zip later when we start getting AOSP roms and custom kernels
I am going to work on a installable script from the terminal that will copy over the needed files to the correct directories then append the needed line of text do the build.prop
10Char, working on script
In one of the roms they had the t-mob wifi in a zip they didn't test it but I could look there
Updated with some more information that I gathered for testing
There is a kernel and a flashable zip that will put wifi calling back onto your phone. Check the insert coin rom thread for info on it.

yes but if you also check it, it will also put all the other tmobile crap on your phone, plus he couldn't test it since he is not on tmobile, so have you tried it and verified that it worked?

have you check mic volume level? I have many people said they have trouble hearing me. I did a test call to my skype and the mic volume is indeed very low. I had to revert to stock rom to get volume back to normal.

I have always had low mic call volume running the stock ROM. This has been the case with both Sensations I have owned. Never had an issue with Skype, volume is always perfect.
Just tested this myself with the insertcoin build.prop (from the TMOUS Patch) and its working, using the libs and apk provided here.

give me some time to sort through the differences in the build.props to see what is triggering the difference in wifi calling working or not then we will see if we can get something made.
So after looking at a build.prop from Revolution HD and then comparing it to the one from Virtuous, Stock, and InsertCoin TmoUS mod.
I think I have traced down the issues, looking into it a built more. After I find the needed values I will see if we can make an install script that will mod the build.prop lines and add the libs and apk and restart the phone.
Update for complete working Wifi Calling. I have tested it a few times and it works fine with only these files at minimum, no need to add alot of extra text or HTC/Tmobile crap.
Works for me thanks. Took me a bit to figure out that you still need to install after copying the apk to /system/app.
Thanks again.

This is not a problem, the only issue I have with this is that you loose any custom tweaks or settings the developer made to his/her ROM because your flashing a basic stock build.prop
I will make a script here shortly that will copy files to the needed directories and then append the needed information to the end of the current build.prop, and all you will need to do is run the script from a terminal or from ADB off the SDCard after each update.
When I start the wifi app, it connects to my network, but it gets stuck on "enabling....". Any suggestions?
Edit: NVM. After I restarted my phone it worked. Thanks.
Wifi calling working for me but have a small issue. The outgoing mic volume is really low on my end. People on the other end of the line can hardly hear me. Any chance you could bump up the mic gain values a bit?
I am having a few issues:
1. When I turn off wifi calling, the app automatically restarts and re-enables it. This occurs even when I select cellular as connection preferences.
2. When I select cellular for connection preferences, with wifi calling ON, it still uses wifi. Why won't it use the cellular signal?
Thanks.

Kernel for Xoom with 3.2.2 and 4g sim installed.

I just got my xoom back after getting the 4G LTE sim installed and the 3.2.2 version of Honeycomb.
I have rooted it again and restored my apps and data, but am stuck on a lot of things work related since there is no kernel that provides tun.ko and keeps 4g working.
Is there a kernel being built that provides tun and 4g or maybe possibly a Moray type rom that has 4g support? (That would be super sweet).
Dude the only one was in the universal root thread. If you changed kernals I think your stuck till we can get the img.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
I used the Universal Xoom Root process available in Development. It gave me back root access and superuser, but the kernel is still stock and lacking write access to the microsd card and tun.ko in the kernel so that IPSEC VPN connections work.
Was just searching around to see if a kernel with 4g support was in the works. Was going to use the Rogue kernel, but there is a post about waiting until it can be updated to handle 4g access.
I will just sit back and monitor the forum for an update.
The Tachi kernel is working for a few people so far. I don't live in a 4G area (VZW says it will be here next month), only work in one so I can't test the LTE yet, though the 3G works fine from my home.
I've identified a few minor annoyances and work arounds as compared to running the kernel (and Moray ROM) prior to 3.2.2 HLK75D as listed in this post:
PengLord said:
Interesting... I installed File Manager HD, enabled Root Explorer (in the settings menu) and it prompted for Root permissions. It works great. The next step in resolving this is going to be remounting the external1 device on boot to enable global write support. As I'm not so well versed in Android architecture to do that, I'll use MicroSD Mounter manually on boot.
The final step to getting this all sorted will be for me to figure out how to mount usbOTG devices, If anybody has experience with that on this kernel with a 4G Xoom, I'd very much appreciate it.
I figured out my problem with usbOTG support... I needed to added the "usbOTG" folder in the "mnt" directory using Root Explorer and then install a mount manager such as USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will get you set up with R/W support for the external1 folder and usbOTG, VPN support may be in there as well since the kernel supports it, I however haven't tried it nor have I read about it being tested as functional on the HLK75D build.
Sadly solarnz announced he will not be working on a 4G Tiamat ROM due to life getting in the way, this means we will likely need to wait until another dev gets caught up or until ICS gets released to us by Motorola (fingers crossed for next month) before it gets any easier.

Hi Etchg,
I had a similar issue. I sent my Xoom in for the 4g update. When it came back I rooted it. Trying to vpn into work (ipsec) I found that my new kernel 2.6.36.3-g6963abe has no tun.ko file. I found some instructions online and compiled one myself. Attached is my tun.ko (You will need to unzip and put in the systems/lib/modules directory. If your kernel is exactly the same as mine then it should work. BTW, with the new tun, I have successfully VPN'd into my work.
-Jared
I just came back to this thread and saw the tun.zip you uploaded. I tried to open it, but it tells me it is corrupt.
Can you either upload it again or use dropbox and send me the link?
I was able to extract the module and load it on my Xoom. I have the same kernel, but I keep getting an authorization error when I try to connect. Darnit all to heck!
I fixed the authentication issue I was having. Thanks for the module...works like a charm.
Thanks for compiling the tun.ko. It works correctly with Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices.
Glad to help
Hi Guys,
Been absent for the week. Glad to hear that you got it downloaded and working!
-Jared
This always comes back as corrupt for me. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't extract the tun.ko out of the zip. I haven't been able to create my own either, so I'd really appreciate someone posting this.

LY-F1 ICS 4.0 update instructions and download links

This is a way to update to ICS 4.0 with a majority of the program working on your tablet, this is not the manufactures firmware so I am not responsible if you brick your tablet. I do not take credit for any of these downloads, this is just a compilation of all the best ones I could find to make this process easy and work as best as possible.
This process is very simple especially if you have already run the factory firmware update on your tablet.
Known not working:
The physic buttons at the bottom of the tablet (home, menu, and back) will not work with this firmware but can be worked around with an app download called Button Savior.
Netflix for me has been a black screen with sound working, haven't really worked on a fix for this one yet.
Auto rotate does not seem to work either so I would recommend just turning it off and letting the programs you run decide which way the screen should be.
Here is a list of the things you will need in order to do the firmware update to 4.0 including links:
Link for Production Software to push new firmware to device.
http://www.lyxfsz.com/cn/downs_view.htm?id=30
momo9 ICS 4.0 Update
http://narod.ru/disk/37649199001/MOMO9C-4-Kevin.rar.html
Scritps for working market place.
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ownload link&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13268322030251
Link for downloading pdanet for the usb drivers to work with ADB
http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
You will also need android sdk downloaded in order to run the scrips to have a working market through ADB shell.
To make this process run smoothly you will need to rename the .img file and .key from the momo9 update file to the following.
a710-v0.5.1.img
proxypid1_solution_net_141516D2-8AC7-4a7a-8D0A-1E49BE70842E.key
Once you have the the necessary downloads complete, the process is very simple.
1.Turn your tablet off and run the firmware update software on your computer. You will re-name the .img and .key files as stated earlier and load them into the software.
2. You will now press start on the program and on your tablet you will now put a small pin in the bottom of the tablet in the hole to the right of the mini hdmi port (this will prompt the tablet to receive the update) and now connect the usb cable and release the pin once usb cable is connected.
3.Once the update is finished you will need to disconnect the usb cable and restart your tablet.
4.Once tablet is restarted you will need to run the PDAnet download and install the software on to your computer and tablet. This will let your computer recognize your table so that ADB shell can now program your tablet.
5.Once PDAnet software is installed you may now run the scripts to have working market. This process is very simple and quick, all you have to do is double click on the .bat file and it will do the rest for you.
6.After the scripts run your tablet will automatically restart and you are almost done. There is only one more app you will need to download from the market in order to make this fully functional. The physic buttons at the bottom of the tablet will no longer work so you need to download an app from the market called Button Savior and set that up on your tablet. This app will take the place of those buttons.
If you have any questions or if I have left something out please let me know and I will get back to you asap.
thanks
Thanks for the useful info and step-by-step instructions.
What i'm wondering is if you feel there are any performance improvements from the upgrade. For instance, do you feel like the UI is any quicker compared to 2.3? I'm fairly happy with the stock setup, but faster is always better.
Yes I do feel the UI is much faster the 2.3 and also less performance draining due to minimal visual effects on transitions. Also it is more direct then 2.3 with the menus so it is easier to get around with.
and there are no other issues with this besides the capacitive buttons?
camera?
usb?
sd card?
wifi?
it's just odd that firmware for a different device would work so well with this one. The novo 7 elf has myriad issues, and that's with stock firmware designed for it! I guess it pays to have such similar hardware.
Yes everything worked fine with it other then the few things stated above. Yeah it is weird to have a firmware from a totally different device work so well. I figured that maybe the display or the touch screen would't work for starters, but bam right after install, almost everything worked great, and after work arounds there wasn't anything I couldn't do with it. I cant wait for the factory ICS to come out so we can start modding it to port over a new rom.
isnt there a way to remap the HW buttons?
Yeah that's definitely a possibility. If only I could open up the firmware image from the factory firmware or even better make a back up of it, then it would be easily edited.
What about this :
1. Fire up adb
2. Edit the key mapping file /system/usr/keylayout/sun4i-keyboard.kl
